Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapeno peppers with the vinegar. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend (2-hours suggested).
- While marinating vegetables, place turkey in a shallow dish. Prepare marinade by mixing limejuice, tequila, oil and black pepper until well blended. Pour over the turkey, and turn to coat well. Refrigerate 15 minutes or for no more than 2 hours, turning occasionally. Drain and discard remaining marinade.
- Spray outdoor grill with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium heat and grill until tenderloins are no longer pink and juices run clear (170 degrees F) about 25 minutes.
- Cut turkey into slices and top with tomato relish before serving.
TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN
Steps:
- Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose a good quality turkey: A fresh, free-range turkey will give you the best results.
- Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple solution of water, salt, and sugar, or you can use a more flavorful brine that includes herbs, spices, and citrus fruits.
- Use a wet rub: A wet rub will help the turkey to stay moist and flavorful during cooking. You can make a wet rub by combining your favorite spices, herbs, and citrus fruits with olive oil or melted butter.
- Roast the turkey at a low temperature: Roasting the turkey at a low temperature will help to prevent it from drying out. The ideal temperature for roasting a turkey is 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey thigh and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This tequila lime BBQ turkey recipe is a delicious and easy way to cook a turkey for your next party or gathering. The tequila and lime marinade gives the turkey a unique and flavorful taste, and the BBQ sauce adds a sweet and smoky flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
